Thanks to Jeff Higgins and the staff at Elaine’s Restaurant in Alexandria, VA for a terrific book launch event for my #WWII novel THE MAPMAKER. Stop by Elaine’s for terrific Mediterranean food. Thanks also to everyone who so kindly turned out on a hot summer day.

Firing the labor statistics chief is the move of a banana republic dictator.

Trump is such a baby. Firing the statistics person… what a clown

And America just got even dumber. Much dumber. Just like they want it.🚨🇺🇸

Incredibly relevant to the times we live in

An Amazon review says, “In THE MAPMAKER, Tom Young crafts a gripping thriller set during #WWII, spanning France, England, Italy, and North Africa. His prose is a pleasure to read, and the action scenes are plentiful and absolutely thrilling.” barnesandnoble.com/w/the-mapmaker…

NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility is a point of pride for Virginia and all of the Eastern Shore. Closing the visitor center would devastate tourism and cut even more Virginia jobs. I urge NASA to work with the federal government and Virginia's leaders to stop these closures.

My thanks to Jon Richstein at Sundial Books in #Chincoteague VA for a great book signing today for my #WWII novel THE MAPMAKER.

But if you want to build a gallows on the mall, trash the Capitol, defecate in the Rotunda and call to “Kill the Police” and “Hang Mike Pence” - Trump will pardon you and his Admin might hire you.

Being against mail-in ballots is being against our Troops’ right to vote. For generations, we have cast ballots by mail, dating back to the Civil War. Denying that right is a betrayal of service, and yet another way Trump disrespects those who serve. GET STICKER:

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Regarding Bolton raid: the FBI with Trump had requested for a year that he give them the classified info they knew he had. This is pure intimidation on Bolton. But there will be no conviction… it’s the raid that is the message. And nobody will be intimidated by Eyes McGhee

John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”
